    After years of being in development hell we're finally getting an adaptation. Love the comic.

    It’s been a long ass time coming for this with numerous attempts that barely got off the ground so can’t fucking wait.

    I liked them. I know nothing about the comic but I’m intrigued. Has a Walking Dead feel to it. Hopefully it’s not as boring and repetitive as TWD after just 1 season

    well the good news is that graphic novel’s run was over in 2008. There’s a complete story there to tell. You don’t have an author trying to milk season after season while the show also alters some of the best parts of the story

    it could be terrible ultimately but it shouldn’t fall into the walking dead trap unless it just goes away from the source, which is always possible

    Not familiar with the graphic novel. Watched the first two and I’m intrigued. I will be watching the rest.

    Y's showrunner said she has a 5 season 50 episode plan in place to tell the story. That seems like right amount.

    I watched the first episode and liked. I’ve read the comic. I got tired early after a rough day at work and fell asleep during the second episode so will have to make another attempt tonight.

    Yorrick seems like a whiny spoiled little bitch after 2-3 episodes. Also the ex presidents daughter character is 100 % a MAGA Karen bitch. (Megan McCain)

    Frankly I'm not really surprised. It has been a pretty piss poor adaptation. I was about to watch episode 6 but guess I'm not even going to bother at this point. Just sad how bad it has been relative to the comic.
